Abstract
Xupu goose, a breed from Hunan province, produces high quality and quantity of meat and liver. However, its egg production rate is low, with poor reproductive traits but strong broody performance. These characteristics decrease the economic value of Xupu goose significantly. Here, RNA-seq was used to analyze the transcriptome changes of ovaries of Xupu goose at different stages to explore the molecular mechanism of reproduction from the pre-laying period to the broody period. A total of 258 genes were differentially expressed in the 3 stages. These genes are associated with inflammation, reproduction, mutual recognition and adhesion between cells, and cytoskeleton formation, and so on. In particular, we report, for the first time, the expression patterns of MRP126, serglycin, TXNIP, and FZD2 during the pre-laying, egg-laying, and broody periods of goose ovaries. Functional analysis by GO annotation revealed that GO terms were mainly involved in actin, cell signal transduction and regulation, and cellular components. Three pathways, including focal adhesion (gga04510), ECM-receptor interaction (gga04512), and N-Glycan biosynthesis (gga00510), were significantly enriched in the three groups. These findings provide a basis for further exploration of profiles of goose ovaries to improve egg production of Xupu goose.

Wang L, Han Y, Wang X. The relationship between plasma serglycin levels and the diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. J Clin Lab Anal 2020; 35:e23663. [PMID: 33314317 PMCID: PMC7957973 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.23663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2020] [Revised: 11/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a microvascular complication which is closely related to diabetes, remains the leading cause of vision loss around the world among older adults. Serglycin (SRGN) was known as a hematopoietic cell granule proteoglycan, exerting its function in the formation of mast cell secretory granules and mediates the storage of various compounds in secretory vesicles. The present study illustrates the potential clinical value and experimental mechanisms of SRGN in the DR. Methods Firstly, the mRNA expression and protein expression of SRGN in plasma samples from NPDR, PDR patients, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2Dm) cases, and healthy controls were measured by qPCR and Western blotting assays, respectively. Then, the potentials of SRGN functioning as a diagnostic indicator in DR were verified by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. We established in vitro DR model of human retinal endothelial cells through high‐glucose treatment. The expression of SRGN and its mechanisms of regulating cellular processes were illustrated subsequently. Results Our data revealed that SRGN was dramatically upregulated in NPDR and PDR cases compared with healthy controls and T2DM patients; meanwhile, the expression of SRGN was further increased in the PDR group with regard to the NPDR group. Furthermore, the ROC analysis demonstrated that SRGN could distinguish the DR cases from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and healthy controls with the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.7680 (95% CI = 0.6780 ~ 0.8576, sensitivity = 47.27%, specificity = 100%, cutoff value = 1.4727) and 0.8753 (95% CI = 0.8261 ~ 0.9244, sensitivity = 69.23%, specificity = 100%, cutoff value = 1.6923), respectively. In vitro high‐glucose treatment showed that the SRGN expressions were dramatically increased. The loss of SRGN could partially counteract the inhibition of HREC proliferation caused by high‐glucose stimulation. Meanwhile, SRGN knockdown could reverse the promotion of HREC apoptosis induced by high glucose as well. Conclusions Consequently, our study implied that SRGN might serve as a promising biomarker with high specificity and sensitivity in the DR diagnosis and progression.

Abstract
Goal: Our aim was to determine whether alterations in serum serglycin and agrin levels in early-onset preeclampsia (EOPE) are useful in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes such as fetal growth restriction (FGR), intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD), preterm delivery and/or neonatal unit admission. Materials and Methods: A prospective case-controlled study enrolled 88 pregnant patients (44 EOPE and 44 controls). Maternal serum serglycin and agrin levels were determined before the 34th gestational week by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Compared with controls, women with EOPE had significantly higher serglycin and agrin levels (p = .018; p = .048). Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed serglycin was independently associated with FGR in EOPE (OR 0.866; 95% CI 0.779-0.953). Agrin was independently associated with IUFD in EOPE (OR 0.757, 95% CI 0.636-0.879). Conclusions: The current study suggests that increased maternal serum serglycin is associated with FGR, and increased maternal serum agrin is associated with IUFD in EOPE.

Abstract
Serglycin is a proteoglycan that was first found to be secreted by hematopoietic cells. As an extracellular matrix (ECM) component, serglycin promotes nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) metastasis and serves as an independent, unfavorable NPC prognostic indicator. The detailed mechanism underlying the roles of serglycin in cancer progression remains to be clarified. Here, we report that serglycin knockdown in NPC cells inhibited cell sphere formation and tumor seeding abilities. Serglycin downregulation enhanced high-metastasis NPC cell sensitivity to chemotherapy. It has been reported that serglycin is a novel ligand for the stem cell marker CD44. Interestingly, we found a positive correlation between serglycin expression and CD44 in nasopharyngeal tissues and NPC cell lines. Further study revealed that CD44 was an ERK-dependent downstream effector of serglycin signaling, and serglycin activated the MAPK/β-catenin axis to induce CD44 receptor expression in a positive feedback loop. Taken together, our novel findings suggest that ECM serglycin upregulated CD44 receptor expression to maintain NPC stemness by interacting with CD44 and activating the MAPK/β-catenin pathway, resulting in NPC cell chemoresistance. These findings suggest that the intervention of serglycin/CD44 axis and downstream signaling pathway is a rational strategy for targeting NPC cancer stem cell therapy.

Abstract
In hematopoietic cells, serglycin proteoglycans mainly contribute to proper storage and secretion of inflammatory mediators via their negatively charged glycosaminoglycans. Serglycin proteoglycans are also expressed in cancer cells where increased expression has been linked to poor prognosis. However, the serglycin-dependent mediators promoting cancer progression remain to be determined. In the present study we report that genetic ablation of serglycin proteoglycan completely blocks lung metastasis in the MMTV-PyMT-driven mouse breast cancer model, while serglycin-deficiency did not affect primary tumour growth or number of mammary tumours. Although E-cadherin expression was higher in the serglycin-deficient primary tumour tissue, indicating reduced invasiveness, serglycin-deficient tumour cells were still detected in the circulation. These data suggest that serglycin proteoglycans play a role in extravasation as well as colonization and growth of metastatic cells. A microarray expression analysis and functional annotation of differentially expressed genes identified several biological pathways where serglycin may be important. Our results suggest that serglycin and serglycin-dependent mediators are potential drug targets to prevent metastatic disease/dissemination of cancer.

Abstract
Serglycin has been initially characterized as an intracellular proteoglycan expressed by hematopoietic cells. All inflammatory cells highly synthesize serglycin and store it in granules, where it interacts with numerous inflammatory mediators, such as proteases, chemokines, cytokines, and growth factors. Serglycin is implicated in their storage into the granules and their protection since they are secreted as complexes and delivered to their targets after secretion. During the last decade, numerous studies have demonstrated that serglycin is also synthesized by various non-hematopoietic cell types. It has been shown that serglycin is highly expressed by tumor cells and promotes their aggressive phenotype and confers resistance against drugs and complement system attack. Apart from its direct beneficial role to tumor cells, serglycin may promote the inflammatory process in the tumor cell microenvironment thus enhancing tumor development. In the present review, we discuss the role of serglycin in inflammation and tumor progression.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is known for its high rate of recurrence and poor prognosis, which makes it necessary to identify new predictive markers for HCC and to explore the underlying mechanism(s). Emerging evidence suggests that the proteoglycan serglycin (SRGN) might play a crucial role in tumor metastasis. However, currently, the function of SRGN in HCC remains unknown. Here, we evaluated the expression pattern of SRGN in 127 HCC specimens and their adjacent, non-tumorous tissues using immunohistochemical assays. We observed that SRGN was significantly upregulated in HCC tissues. Elevated expression levels of SRGN were detectable in 72/127 (56.7%) of the HCC specimens and in 4/127 (3.1%) of adjacent non-tumorous tissues (p < 0.001). Further correlation analysis demonstrated that the increased expression of SRGN was positively associated with HBV infection, GGT level, vascular invasion, advanced BCLC stage and early recurrence (p < 0.05). Increased SRGN expression correlated with unfavorable prognosis in HCC patients. In multivariate analyses, SRGN expression levels were found to represent an independent predictor for overall survival (p = 0.002) and time to recurrence (p = 0.010) of HCC patients. Furthermore, the elevated expression of SRGN in the HCC tissues was accompanied by elevated levels of vimentin and the absence of E-cadherin. Similarly, the reduced expression of SRGN was accompanied by elevated levels of E-cadherin and the absence of vimentin. E-cadherin and vimentin are well-accepted biomarkers of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and the expression of SRGN might correlate with EMT. Our results demonstrate that the elevated expression of SRGN represents a crucial event in HCC patients that is indicative of poor clinical outcome.

Abstract
Serglycin is found in all nucleated hematopoietic cells and platelets, blood vessels, various reproductive and developmental tissues, and in chondrocytes. The serglycin knockout mouse has demonstrated that this proteoglycan is required for proper generation and function of secretory granules in several hematopoietic cells. The effects on platelets are profound, and include diminishing platelet aggregation responses and formation of platelet thrombi. This chapter will review cell-specific aspects of serglycin structure, its gene regulation, cell and tissue localization, and the effects of serglycin deletion on hematopoietic cell granule structure and function. The effects of serglycin knockout on platelets are described and discussed in detail. Rationales for further investigations into the contribution of serglycin to the known roles of platelets in thrombosis, inflammation, atherosclerosis, and tumor metastasis are presented.

Abstract
Serglycin (SG), the hematopoietic cell secretory granule proteoglycan, is crucial for storage of specific secretory proteins in mast cells, neutrophils, and cytotoxic T lymphocytes. We addressed the role of SG in platelets using SG-/- mice. Wild-type (WT) but not SG-/- platelets contained chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans. Electron microscopy revealed normal alpha-granule structure in SG-/- platelets. However, SG-/- platelets and megakaryocytes contained unusual scroll-like membranous inclusions, and SG-/- megakaryocytes showed extensive emperipolesis of neutrophils. SG-/- platelets had reduced ability to aggregate in response to low concentrations of collagen or PAR4 thrombin receptor agonist AYPGKF, and reduced fibrinogen binding after AYPGKF, but aggregated normally to ADP. 3H-serotonin and ATP secretion were greatly reduced in SG-/- platelets. The alpha-granule proteins platelet factor 4, beta-thromboglobulin, and platelet-derived growth factor were profoundly reduced in SG-/- platelets. Exposure of P-selectin and alphaIIb after thrombin treatment was similar in WT and SG-/- platelets. SG-/- mice exhibited reduced carotid artery thrombus formation after exposure to FeCl3. This study demonstrates that SG is crucial for platelet function and thrombus formation. We propose that SG-/- platelet function deficiencies are related to inadequate packaging and secretion of selected alpha-granule proteins and reduced secretion of dense granule contents critical for platelet activation.

Abstract
Although the biological significance of proteoglycans (PGs) has previously been highlighted in multiple myeloma (MM), little is known about serglycin, which is a hematopoietic cell granule PG. In this study, we describe the expression and highly constitutive secretion of serglycin in several MM cell lines. Serglycin messenger RNA was detected in six MM cell lines. PGs were purified from conditioned medium of four MM cell lines, and serglycin substituted with 4-sulfated chondroitin sulfate was identified as the predominant PG. Flow cytometry and confocal microscopy showed that serglycin was also present intracellularly and on the cell surface, and attachment to the cell surface was at least in part dependent on intact glycosaminoglycan side chains. Immunohistochemical staining of bone marrow biopsies showed the presence of serglycin both in benign and malignant plasma cells. Immunoblotting in bone marrow aspirates from a limited number of patients with newly diagnosed MM revealed highly increased levels of serglycin in 30% of the cases. Serglycin isolated from myeloma plasma cells was found to influence the bone mineralization process through inhibition of the crystal growth rate of hydroxyapatite. This rate reduction was attributed to adsorption and further blocking of the active growth sites on the crystal surface. The apparent order of the crystallization reaction was found to be n=2, suggesting a surface diffusion-controlled spiral growth mechanism. Our findings suggest that serglycin release is a constitutive process, which may be of fundamental biological importance in the study of MM.

Abstract
Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) tumors produce large amounts of basement membrane (BM) components that are widely used as cell culture substrates mimicking BM functions. To delineate the tissue/organ origin of the tumor and the mechanisms operating in the BM overproduction, a genome-wide expression profile of EHS tumor was analyzed using RIKEN cDNA microarrays containing approximately 40,000 mouse cDNA clones. Expression profiles of F9 embryonal carcinoma cells that produce laminin-1 and other BM components upon differentiation into parietal endoderm-like cells (designated F9-PE) were also analyzed. Hierarchical clustering analysis showed that the gene expression profiles of EHS and F9-PE were the most similar among 49 mouse tissues/organs in the RIKEN Expression Array Database, suggesting that EHS tumor is parietal endoderm-derived. Quantitative PCR analysis confirmed that not only BM components but also the machineries required for efficient production of BM components, such as enzymes involved in post-translational modification and molecular chaperones, were highly expressed in both EHS and F9-PE. Pairs of similar transcription factor isoforms, such as Gata4/Gata6, Sox7/Sox17, and Cited1/Cited2, were also highly expressed in both EHS tumor and F9-PE. Time course analysis of F9 differentiation showed that up-regulation of the transcription factors was associated with those of BM components, suggesting their involvement in parietal endoderm specification and overproduction of the BM components.

Abstract
We mapped the DNase I-hypersensitive sites (DHSS) of the serglycin gene in resting and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-stimulated human erythroleukemia (HEL) and CHRF 288-11 cells, which have megakaryocytic characteristics, and HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells. We compared these DHSS with those of normal primary neutrophils and human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Several DHSS appear to be involved in regulating the level of endogenous expression and in the PMA response of hematopoietic cell lines. A DHSS unique to resting HL-60 cells and induced in CHRF 288-11 by PMA may explain the high degree of endogenous expression in HL-60 relative to HEL and CHRF (Schick, B. P., Petrushina, I., Brodbeck, K. C., and Castronuevo, P. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 24726-24735). A total of 4 DHSS in intron 1 and 6 in intron 2 are associated with the PMA response in a cell-specific manner. A DHSS in the 5'-flanking region and another in intron 1 lie in areas that have high homology with the orthologous murine serglycin locus and are rich in potential transcription factor binding sites. One DHSS in intron 1 and one in intron 2 are located within Alu repeats. Two DHSS found in DNA of normal primary neutrophils were different from those of the cell lines. One DHSS in exon 2 unique to neutrophils correlated with a previously unrecognized alternative splicing that removes exon 2. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells had a DHSS in intron 1 that was common with the cell lines. The different patterns of DHSS exhibited by the cells studied suggest that cell- and differentiation-specific alterations in chromatin structure may control serglycin gene expression.

Abstract
The serglycin proteoglycan is expressed in most hematopoietic cells and is packaged into secretory vesicles for constitutive or regulated secretion. We have now shown serglycin mRNA expression in undifferentiated murine embryonic stem (ES) cells and in embryoid bodies, and synthesis and secretion in undifferentiated ES cells. Serglycin was localized to ES cell cytoplasm by immunostaining. Serglycin mRNA is expressed in tal-1((-/-)) ES cells and embryoid bodies; tal-1((-/-)) mice cannot produce hematopoietic cells. Thus, ES serglycin expression is probably not associated with hematopoiesis. Serglycin expression was increased by treatment of ES cells with retinoic acid (RA) and dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP). The serglycin core protein obtained from control ES culture medium after chondroitinase digestion appears as a doublet. Only the lower Mr band is present in serglycin secreted from RA-treated and the higher Mr band in RA+dbcAMP-treated cells, suggesting that core protein structure is affected by differentiation.

Abstract
We have compared regulation of the serglycin gene in human erythroleukemia (HEL) and CHRF 288-11 cells, which have megakaryocytic characteristics, with promyelocytic HL-60 cells. Deletion constructs were prepared from the region -1123/+42 to -20/+42, and putative regulatory sites were mutated. In all three cell lines, the two major regulatory elements for constitutive expression were the (-80)ets site and the cyclic AMP response element (CRE) half-site at -70. A protein from HEL and CHRF, but not HL60, nuclear extracts bound to the (-80)ets site. Another protein from all three cell lines bound to the (-70)CRE. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) increased expression of the reporter in HEL cells 2.5-3- and 4.5-fold, respectively, from all constructs except those with (-70)CRE mutations. PMA virtually eliminated expression of serglycin mRNA and promoter constructs, but dbcAMP increased expression in HL-60 cells. The effects of PMA and dbcAMP on promoter expression correlated with mRNA expression. The strengths of two DNase I-hypersensitive sites in the 5'-flanking region and the first intron in all three cells correlated with relative endogenous serglycin mRNA expression. An additional DNase I-hypersensitive site in HL60 DNA in the first intron may be related to the high serglycin expression in HL60 relative to HEL or CHRF cells.
